The damper, the tension wire and cantilever position

When a Cart' is purchased for whatever the retail or purchase value, it is fundamentally a sacrificial part, 'expected' to deteriorate in performance.

How one chooses to continue with the usage of the Cart' when signs of deterioration shows is their choice. If they convince themselves that placing the Styli in the Groove is a solution to be used as a temporary correction, then this is their choice, and any unwanted knock on effects of this practice will commence being realised. 

The Cart' in use, will typically be subjected to a depreciation in value, as a result of the idea it has been used, even if the reported usage is claimed to be very low in hours, the unknowing and fragility of the device is the controlling factor, with this in mind, it is an individuals choice, for how much they want to pay for the same levels of fragility that are present across the entirety of the price range.

It is each to their own, when it comes to how much they would like to have attached, as a cost to be incurred to replay a Album, using the 1000 Hours as a guidance, a replay of a album can have an approx' cost of $1.50 - $13. There are very enjoyable experiences on offer from all Cart's, reports from users are sharing this on a regular basis.  

If the Cantilever is seen to be askew and has changed in appearance to an earlier observed alignment, especially one that was not noticeable with an askew being present. The chances are that a change has occurred to other under the hood parts, and this change to condition has manifested as a change to the cantilevers position.

An Aluminium Cantilever might endure a force and show as being curved or bent, but I am not sure if a mineral cantilever has ever been discovered with a curve formed on it.

  

Dear pindac, the expression ''it depends'' is short and easy to remembar and

very  smart   as reminder not to use quantifier  ALL when starting from our

own opinion. I owned  all Ikeda's FR 7 kinds. Those are from the 80is. 

Each of them was perfect in technical sense but I decided to keep F7,ez.

I also got after waiting for for 2 years his REX, the cantileveless kind.

Both are my most precious ''darlings''. No idea how he deed ''it'' but I have

never heard complaints about his dampers. In contradistinction the recent

purchased ZYX had defective damper. I ever started an thread about

IRREPARBLE carts. To my big surprise nobody was interested. My

reason was Sony XL 88D (D for diamond ). I am not sure if back than

acrilic existed so i will name it ''plastic body''. Gloed together and provided

with damping material inside to dampen resonaces. But there was no

way to get IN for any repair. So my friend Axel Shurholz, who described

this ''stuff'' as glue was not able to fix this ''wonder''. Our architect 

from Australia calld  AUSSIE declared this cart as the best he

ever owned. Mori-san made two innovations for this XL sereis.

8 form coils and internal damping. In the 80is one could buy

an Volkswagen for its price. So whatever the function of time 

may be ''deterioration'' is not  always the case. BTW also

all my Kiseki's from the 80 are much better then the ''brand 

new'' kind. The later are ''collectivly'' offered for sale while

my Agaat and Black heart are nowhere to find. 

 

 

Adopting me as your English professor is a situation up with which I will not put. Also, regarding NZ sourced wines, my wife has a predilection for their Sauvignon Blanc above most others. I know nothing about dampers, cantilevers, and whatnot, but the thread is amusing nevertheless, thanks to your wit.

Dear Lew, I don't remember exact what Caesar said to Briuus but by

approximation : ''ET TU, BRUTE!''. Tha is how I feel with your

''support'' for your student. Mind you you very well know who

my ''best proffesor of my life'' was despit the fact that I never have

seen him but leaned from  him by his books and articles, G.Frege

the GREAT. In similar way I try to learn from you English. I have

never forget your writer inclination and talent. To put this otherwise

I enjoyed all you post despite the fact tha deed not undersand aything you

had to say. Copicat is at present ''the method''  of lerning. Look

at all those mobile phones. There is a new definition of poverty. 

Not lack of bread but lack of I-phone is considerd as such.

Anyway I expect from you at least support against this ''fake''

New Zeelander . Whatever their wiine it has nothing to do with

HIM. 

 

I believe that getting the stylus angle to the groove correct is paramount to good sound, but inconsistencies in manufacturing stylus to cantilever and cantilever to body(?) can cause subpar alignment.  So I'm going to use WAM Engineering to calculate via microscope the optimal angle to set my cartridges in order to get the stylus to align accurately with the groove.  This obviously doesn't apply to spherical styluses.
